In its fully renovated setting, the Adrien Dubouché National Museum holds the largest collection of Limoges porcelain in the world. It also contains representative works from the key stages in the history of ceramics. The museum route follows a journey through time that starts in Antiquity and crosses continents and civilisations, leading visitors towards the most recent designs. Everyone can marvel at the virtuosity of the masterpieces on display in an area dedicated to manufacturing techniques. The Adrien Dubouché National Museum and its prestigious collections thus contribute to the international reputation of ceramic arts and the promotion of the exceptional know-how that has made Limoges so famous.

Modern, well-designed museum housing collection of porcelain that shows up the many outlets / shops in Limoges for what they are. Explanation of processes and examples of work through the ages are clear and interesting.

Disappointing as altho I have some Limoges I wanted to learn more. A huge museum and it should represent national France so foreign people who do not speak French can really enjoy it for 6 euros

This is where we take guests on a rainy day. They normally smile and say 'lovely' and you just know they are thinking that this could be a bit of a bore. But without exception they have all come away saying how fascinating it was. The initial section is about the history and process of making porcelain and after that...

We had a very good afternoon. The visit took us about 2 hours (we went fast), I would say it's better in 3 to 4.
Very interesting to learn the difference between ceramics, chianware, argile.... from different countries.
During June 2016, they had a special and extra exhibition on South Korea.
Well done and well explain.
It's very beautiful and...

My interest in visiting the Musee National Adrien Dubouche was to learn more about the hard-paste porcelain produced by factories near the city of Limoges. The museum contains a broad collection of some 15,000 pieces of ceramics from antiquity to the modern day. There are interesting exhibits about the history of ceramics and the manufacturing process. I would have preferred...

We really enjoyed this museum. There was a temporary exhibition of Korean porcelain, as well as the permanent collection of porcelain from around the world across time, as well as that specifically from Limoges. In addition there is a display relating to the evolution of porcelain production and how it is made.. It is not in English, but it's not...
